Since the Grunts can speak English, any chance of them having conversation with each other in Halo 2?

They do not speak english. You hear english because of a translator that was put into the Chief's UNSC standard nueral implant around 2532 I think. Now as for conversations.....only the Bungie people know.

Why can they only Translate the Grunts then? Why not the Jackals or Elites?

Because it's a video game. ;) And Elites wouldn't sound as good in english. There would be no more "Wort wort wort". Then where would we be?

What? A translator? I don't know about that. y wouldn'd u be able to hear other elite, jackals or hunter talk. i think there like parrots and they kind of mimic what they hear or know those few human words by heart

The covenant want to wipe out the Humans, so I doubt they have an interest in our language.

Okay then. We can hear the GRunts because their language is the simplist. Very easy. Before the translation software all we heard were gutteral barks and squeels. Also we have fought them the longest. Which gives some reason why we can understand them.

As for the Jackals. Their language is too complex for translators. Which is why we can't hear them. Despite fighting them for 27 years just like the Grunts.

Now the Elites, Brutes, and Hunters have just shown up in the war. Elites just so recent as to have first shown themselves at the Fall of Reach (just a mere few weeks before the events at Halo). Hunters were first seen at Sigma Octanus IV( a few months before Halo) and Brutes right after halo.

Basically it is a matter of time to translate and simplicity of the different languages. That is why we can't hear all the different Covenant in english. And I hope it stays that way. Hell having the translator break on the Chief would be nice. Simply because I would love to hear the Grunts' natural language.
